What Can You Do With A Washer?
Well another brainstorm came my way. I was at the Home Depot and thought …What can I do with a washer? I bet you will be running out to the hardware store tonight. Check it out!
Too cute or should I say pretty... Thinking of making one of the PBS Swappers Weekly Challenges out of your technique here Christie. Thanks for sharing!
Christie, These are beautiful and what a great way to be able to paint the washers. I made a bracelet with washers and painted some of them with alcohol inks but I had a heck of a time doing that. Your tut would have helped me. I think I'll try what you did and also add some stickles. Thanks. If you'd like to see my bracelet, it's at http://www.bloombakecreate.com/2010/02/one-ufo-sighted-and-finished/
I love the washers idea. I wish I had some alcohol ink to make some. the are on my wish list. someday I just have to remember to do that one. I love it with the flower on it. thanks for sharing
Wow I have done that .. should I be shareing this stuff ? I;m so new to this. Thanks for sharing. Your amazing with all the things you know..... keep them coming..
These are so cool, Christie. I had to jump on Joanne.com and order me some alcohol inks. This is the second thing I saw on your blog that I just gotta get. The other one was those containers you used for your chipboard letters. I thought they might work great for things like brads and buckles and such, so I had to order me some of those too...lol! They would probably be great for these washers too. Thank you so much for all these neat ideas!
I have little ones, and I think the large washer would make great tokens (earn 10 tokens for good behavior, get a prize), play money, practice lacing, glue a flower on one side and a magnet on the other, or make beautiful musical instruments (I've seen wind chimes, castinets, tambourines, and shakers using washers.
Nice idea, how well do these hold up, say if i were to use them for jewlery? should i coat them with something. this also gave me an idea to use my epoxy resin to color the metals.
Can you list your items used? I'm so excited to try this! So much to learn about inks and paints and you seem to be my new go to guru. Email is daddyswitlgirl@aol.com
Oh, how fun......I am going to try these also. I'm looking forward to what you do with these.....

ReplyDeleteYes All beautiful,
ReplyDeleteHave you tried Loc Washers--not as much surface, but a different dimension.
These are gorgeous! I'm thinking they would be a pretty mobile, kept out of reach of course! But what a pretty and dimensional mobile it would make!
ReplyDeleteCool idea :) TFS
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!!! I too love playing with alcohol inks and you just gave me a new medium on which to pounce! Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteVery cool idea! Can't wait to see what you create with these
